 5th Avenue candy bar memories... My parents have been married for 25 years this June and they are going to New York for their anniversary. "Fifth" Avenue to be exact. A little more than twenty-five years ago, my mom was a struggling opera singer (she is since a music teacher). My dad was a college grad student. My parents had been dating for several years and my mother used to always drag him against his will to shop at Saks, to just look and not even buy, being on a small budget.
As the story goes, my dad would buy her Fifth Avenue bars and just leave them for her in her bag, on her bed, in her pocket. My mother had no idea what was going on, but did not complain because she loved her chocolate. As they did every week, my dad and mother went Saks. They browsing as usual, when my dad slips something into my mother's pocket. "This is a special Fifth Avenue."
The 5th Avenue candy bar was my favorite because it
also had two almond quarters across the top; this was a treat within
it self. I would eat the nuts first then the candy bar. I would get
mad if the nuts were crooked on top or if it was missing a nut.
Sometimes I would allow the chocolate to melt and then I could slide
the nut off easily. I would also lick the melted chocolate off the
candy bar. Dissembling this bar was a good and taste thing to do. I
would make it a project. ~ Debra from New Jersey
